Mr. James Hilton portrayed a classic tale of Shangri-La - the Lost Horizon, if you have already read it and wanted to believe it, you should take this trip to see how people there live stress- free and in moderation. Then you could answer the question "is moderation in a happy, stress- free situation better than a world where we feel great passions but also endure periods of unhappiness?" We arranged this itinerary for people who would like to experience some totally different lifestyles which may provoke deep thought.
